We shall be pleased to have further instructive articles along this line from Mr. Halleck or other competent authority. An article on cultivation and trimming of trees would be appropriate at this time.

Her husband, whose? death occurred at a Des Moines hospital, was a rural mail carrier, and Mrs. Gray may become the carrier after her return home. Eger’s grocery delivery horse took a notion that it was feeding time at about noon today and while William Rayher, the driver, was deliverying a bill of groceries a a residence in the east part of town, the horse decamped. He ripped it off pretty lively, but went directly to the stable and nothing was injured, except Bill’s feelings. Dr. I. M. Washburn and Harry Parker returned this morning from their trip to Louisiana. They visited Omar Ritchie, who has a plantation of some 1,700 acres, and who is enjoying life and indulging in some splendid prosperity in his new southern home. They found plenty of game and had all the hunting they could desire. J. J. Hunt is still confined at his honjp as a result of the injuries sustained last week when his automobile crushed him against the window sill at the Maxwell salesroom. When he was first injured it was thought that he would be able to get out within a few days, but it is now understood that it will be some time yet before he can get out, even with the use of crutches. The injury is to his left leg below the knee, and aside from that his bruises were not severe.

This is horse sale day, but the foreign buyers did not sfiow up. The buyers have been coming here from Monticelio. That sale is the first Tuesday in each month. Owing to the fact that today is the first day of the month, the Monticelio sale did not take place until next Tuesday, the 7th, and tho buyers did not put in an appearance, although there were a number' of horses brought to town. A 1 Padgltt bought four head and had previously completed a load bought last week and the first of this. There was considerable local changing and W. D. Brlngle, of Jordan township, bought a good mare for $lB6. We are this week unloading our third car of flour for 1911.

If you have never tried it, do so »t once. JOHN EOER. Bargains, real bargains at Alford ft Vanarsdel's, successors to P. O. Kresler.

The Home Doctor

Noted Physician’s Prescriptions Save Suffering and Money— Preserve Them.

Cures a Cough or a Cold In a Day. Go to jrour druggist and get “Two ounces of Glycerine and half an ounce of Concentrated Pine compound. Mix these with half a pint of good whiskey. Shake well. Take one or two teaspoonfuls after each meal and at bed time. Smaller doses to children according to age.” Any one can prepare this at home. This is said to be the quickest cough and cold cure known to the medical profession. Be sure to get only the genuine (Globe) Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce bottle comes in a tin screw-top sealed case. If the druggist Is out of stock he will quickly get it from his wholesalehouse . Don’t fool with uncertain mixtures. It is risky. Bplendld for Indigestion. A wonderful digestive mixture, which quickly releaves distress after eating, headaches, belching, sour stomach, dizziness, etc., and. if used for sufficient time, will completely cure the worst case of dyspepsia, is the following:. “Two ounces essence of Pepsin; three ounces syrup of Ginger; one ounce Catandir compound. These to be mixed in a six-ounce bottle, shake well and use in doses from one to two teaspoonsful after each meal and at bedtime. The Catandir is a comparatively recent preparation and may not be kept In stock by some of the smaller druggists, but he can get it very promptly from his wholesale house. This is surely worth trying by any one with stomach trouble. In hospital work It has been very successful.

Best Rheumatism Prescription.

This has been well known to .the best doctors for years and is now given to the public. “Get one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla compound and one. ounce Toris compound. Then get half a pint of good whiskey and put the other two ingredients into it. Take a tablespoonful of this mixture before each meal and at bed time Shake the bottle before using.” Good effects are felt the first day. Many of the worst cases have been cured by this. Any druggist has these ingredients on hand or will quickly get them from his wholesale bouse. Any one can mix them. '

SAN FRANCISCO WINS PANAMA EXPOSITION.

A fine trip for those attending the exposition would be by way of New York City and thence by water through the canal.

State Senator Proposes Fine Of $100 for Failure to Vote.

Senator Durre, of Evansville, would like to put a stop to the laxity of voters. He believes it tbe duty of every American citizen to go to tbe polls and he would force him to do it under penalty of a fine of SIOO. It is a fact that many people have remained away from tbe polls at recent elections and that in many cases men have refused to vote unless they were brougbi to the polls in a carriage or an automobile and then taken back to their homes.
